I know a lot of you Admins out there in Admin land support products that you don't have installed on your own desktop. Sure you can remote desktop into a machine or fire up a VM but this is so elegant it is a HUGE surprise that it's from Microsoft.

This issue was mine. I support Office 2007 and run Office 2003 for a bunch of reasons. Now walking someone through disabling an add-on or changing some preferences / options can be a real challenge. Especially when I have to keep saying...

Now I can go back to my monotoned voice saying... "Left click tools.... Left click options... Find the preference that say...

Anyone else find this nifty? Have you never ever used Office 2007? Want to give it a test drive? Don't worry about crashing launch it in your browser... But before you get any, snarky "Will this replace my office install for me" questions the answer is NO. This Still is M$ after all!_The2007AdmiN_
